Is "spinoff" actually the proper term for the manga of The Big O?
Should Lost Memory be its own page or just added to the existing manga page? Its chapters are listed along side the other.
I tried referring to the Lexicon to see ANN's definition of a spinoff, but no such luck. My understanding of "spinoff" were things like the relationship between Outlaw Star and Angel Links.

See the FAQ:

By that definition: the manga shouldn't be called a spinoff.

So whatever term you use for telling the same story but in a different form.

I've changed the relationship to "alternate retelling of (same basic premise, story diverges)".

Big-O is one of my favorite anime. Manga Sounds interesting. Wish I could find copies of the old VIZ printings at a reasonable price.
